One of the Hager Twins on Hee Haw. I met him last year at a Buck Owens tribute show at the Continental Club, a few blocks from my house in Austin. He seemed like a nice guy.

My wife met them quite a while ago at a fair as well, when they noticed her walking with her twin boys in the stroller. They struck up a conversation with her and talked at length about the unique experience of raising twins.
She did well. One served in Desert Storm and is now a father of two and a corrections officer in New Hampshire. The other is currently serving his second tour of duty overseas, this time in Afghanistan. He has three kids. Nancy says they were a "handful" as kids..I'll have to take her word for it, though, since as long as I have known them, I only see two very fine men.
Anyway, she will be saddened to hear this news.
